How do children learn foreign languages

There is so much we can learn from children, when it comes to learning foreign languages. Wendy Vo was fluent in 11 languages when she was eight years old. A true genius, of course. But what is her language learning secret? See what she does and how she learns. SHE ASKS QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME.

She is of course very lucky to have supportive parents who...

London Greek Lessons for British Cypriots

London Greek Lessons for British Cypriots

London based Cypriot Greeks often look for Greek language courses where they could learn Cypriot. The Greek lessons are usually run by Greek Centres and Greek Schools across the city, mostly in North London, where the major Greek Cypriot community is located. Not many courses however offer to teach the Cypriot dialect. We are aware of this and have in fact hired some excellent tutors who specialise in teaching Greek as well as Cypriot Greek, so if you are of Cypriot origin or just simply want to learn to speak Cypriot...

Private Russian lessons-Learning Russian

If you plan to learn Russian in London and have decided to try learning Russian with a private tutor you should probably check the Russian alphabet before your first lesson. Getting familiar with the Russian script, even if you cant really read it yet, will help you to focus on the actual language in your first lessons and allow you to take full advantage of your private classes.

Russian, Greek or Hebrew lessons – learning a new script

When learning to speak Russian, Greek, Hebrew or another language with a different script there is often a big fear on the students part and hesitation to learn it. Many students are frightened by the prospect of having to learn a new script and often request a tutor who will not teach them to read or write in the language as they are ‘’only interested in conversation classes’’. If you are one of the students who believes you can learn a language whilst ignoring its script I must disappoint you. You can never really understand a...

Learning Greek in London – evening courses or a private tutor?

Many Greek schools in London run weekend or evening courses- but does classroom based language tuition really work? No, in my opinion it doesn’t.
